On tap at The Magnet, pours a dark amber / mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma is light, with lactose, and nary a trace of coconut or cocoa. Flavour is weak and watery, with lots of lactose, maybe a hint of coconut. Watery, poorly calibrated and just unpleasant.

On tap. Pours a very dark brown with moderate nitro head. Aromas of roasted barley, soft nutty chocolate, and subtle red berries. Flavors follow same with more pronounced raspberries. Nicely done with nice porter base and berry balance.

Pale, and slightly hazy. Lots of nelson on the nose, a bit berryish, on the palate lots of pear, orange, seems bright. Moderate bitterness. The hop character is quite nice, malts ok, good balance.

473mL can. Pours light golden with small white head. Aroma has a nice variety of hops; Nelson prominent. Flavour mainly dominated by stonefruit flavour. Nose is better than the flavour. Not bad, but not great.

473mL can, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has a nice Nelson hop character, with plenty of pine, white wine tang, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour has a more pineapple-y hop expression, a little citrus tang, and stewed / canned stone fruits. The Nelson on the nose is very promising, but the flavour doesn't match as well.

473 ml can. Pours a hazy amber with light head. Aromas of salty wheat, coriander, citrus and a Belgian yeast. Lighter flavors follow same. More a Belgian Wit IMHO, but clean, easy to drink and quite good.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear yellow gold with small white head. Clean, crisp, dry mild buckwheat lager with some underlying grassy hops. Decent.

Poured from the tap @ Darby’s (50th pint to finally get my Hall of Foam after all these years - I usually get flights - was going to wait for Peche day or something more memorable, but don’t make it out here much anymore). Dark brown with small beige head. Toasted malt, some nuts, very feint chocolate, coconut is almost undetectable. Okay.

Poured from 473mL can. Only feintly hazy gold with white head. Some grain, some melon hops, and mild stone fruit, okay.

Not actually that hazy, thin head. Dark blonde sort of colour. Peachy, stone fruit, light papaya, low bitterness -soft pale malt. Solid effort.
